Bobby Green calls for clash against Michael Chandler at the White House
Green was a sizeable underdog going into his lightweight matchup against an up-and-coming Daniel Zellhuber at UFC Mexico on Saturday. Green led the dance from the opening bell and completely outstruck Zellhuber before knocking him out late in the second round in front of his home fans.
When asked about his next potential opponent, Green called for Nate Diaz to be re-signed to the UFC. However, Green later changed tune and called for a matchup against Michael Chandler at the White House in June.
‘I’m a Great American’
“Michael Chandler at the White House, that would be dope,” Green said in an interview with the UFC. “I’d love to be on the White House lawn. I’m a great American. I want to show for the Black folks and say, ‘Hey America, this is what a standup Black American looks like.’ I’m showing the example to America and saying, ‘Hey, this is who I am. I represent America.’”
Green (34-17) is now on a two-fight winning streak that saw him rebound from consecutive losses against Paddy Pimblett and Mauricio Ruffy. Meanwhile, Chandler (23-10) is 2-5 in the UFC and currently on a three-fight slump.
"Fight, kick some ass, AND get tacos? Sounds like a great day to me."

Could Makai Lemon link up with former Trojan teammate?
It is not likely that the Chicago Bears take receiver Makai Lemon with their first round pick. The Bears' last season set their fans' hearts on fire by taking tight end Colston Loveland with their first-round pick instead of addressing other critical needs. That move panned out to be one of the best picks of last year's draft. Colston Loveland looks like a top five tight end already after his rookie season. Ben Johnson was right, and Loveland fits the offense perfectly. Could Ben Johnson and Ryan Poles take another swing for Caleb Williams?
There have been talks that the Bears are going to move on from D.J. Moore, with his current contract not matching his production, and the Bears being in a bit of a pickle with their current cap. If they move on from Moore, there is a bit of a question which receiver would step up to being that alpha male. The Bears do have loads of talent at that position, just still no clear #1. Rome Odunze was supposed to be that guy, but injuries have set that back from happening, and he has a recurring issue with drops. Luther Burden is an insane playmaker, but it might be too early to expect him to be that #1 guy.
Makai Lemon, a former Trojan teammate of Caleb Williams, listed Caleb as one of his picks for quarterbacks he would want to play with. In 2023, there was not much success between these two together, but there is a great relationship still there. With the player that Lemon is now, he would be dangerous in a Ben Johnson offense and with Caleb Williams.
If the Bears were to trade up and draft Makai Lemon, it would be another move that would be hated, but a move that pays off big dividends. Makai Lemon, as a rookie, I think, would be the best receiver on this team, and he would fit in perfectly. He is a smaller receiver who can dominate in the slot, while Luther Burden and Rome Odunze can dominate on the outside. He is elite at things other than his counterparts, making for a truly special offense.
Now, this would be a fantasy situation, but if it were to actually happen, Colston Loveland, Makai Lemon, Luther Burden, and Rome Odunze would maybe be the best receiving combination in the NFL. All of them are young, too, which would be scary for the rest of the NFL. Allowing Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams to work with that seems like it would be illegal.
As I mentioned, it may be a far-stretched concept, but boy, would it be fun to watch. The Chicago Bears would have the best offense in the NFL, and they could bring back the idea of the greatest show on turf. While it is a very unlikely landing spot for Makai Lemon, I do not think there is a better case scenario for him other than landing in Chicago.

Could New York Giants see some changes to their ownership group in 2026?
The New York Giants have already undergone a shift in their management group this offseason with the hiring of John Harbaugh as head coach and long-time NFL home office admin Dawn Aponte as their new senior vice president of football operations and strategy.
The next moves, however, could be more significant.
John Mara, whose family owns 45 percent of the Giants, has been undergoing treatments for cancer. He has been present throughout, even playing a large role in the courting of Harbaugh, but how long he can actively remain in his job is concerning.
Mara's partner, Steve Tisch, the team's Chairman of the Board, whose family also owns a 45 percent stake in the club, has his own issues. Tisch's name has appeared in the files released by the Department of Justice in the Jeffrey Epstein affair, and discipline from the league could be forthcoming.
There is a scenario where the Giants have a new CEO and a new Chairman this year. It's a difficult subject to broach, but the powers that remain in the building have to be girding themselves for what could be coming.
At the Super Bowl, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell promised to "look at all the facts" in Tisch's case, basically kicking the can down the road. That road is coming to an end soon, as the NFL's new league year begins next week and the owners are scheduled to convene at their annual meeting at the end of the month in Phoenix.
There will be no avoiding the issue. Tisch has violated sections of the Personal Conduct Act, and it has to, at the very least, be a topic of conversation.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk recently spoke to a league official who told him that Tisch has to be removed. That may not be as easy to do as one thinks. In fact, some believe the league won't do very much at all unless directed by the Department of Justice.
The league could be waiting for it to all blow over. Alternatively, the NFL could be hoping that the Tisch family will nudge Steve out of the spotlight as the representative of the folks who own the 45-percent share of the Giants.
Regardless, it’s not going away. As one high-level employee with another team told PFT on Friday, “Steve has to go.”
Whatever the outcome, the NFL must investigate Tisch. Until it does, it’s impossible for any league investigation of a player or any other non-owner to have a shred of credibility.
The Giants' ownership structure used to be cut and dry -- 50 percent Mara, 50 percent Tisch. Last summer, they decided to take on a third investor, Juila Koch, whose family bought a 10 percent equity stake in the club.
The brand hasn't taken much of a hit, if at all, which is another reason for inaction. The NFL is more popular than ever, and the Giants are one of its most valuable properties. It's unlikely the Tisch family will sell their stake, which is valued anywhere between $4 and $5 billion.
Knowing the history of this franchise, there probably won't be any selling of any stakes from either side.
As Florio suggests, the organization could coax the 76-year-old Steve Tisch into resigning his titles to another family member (his brother Jonathan or sister, Laurie, who are both board members) and steer clear of the team indefinitely. He'd still be an owner, but he'll be out of sight. That's a face-saving move for all.
As for the Mara end, if John has to step down, the likely candidates to take his spot are his younger brother, Chris, or his sister, Susan McDonnell, both of whom currently serve on the board.
